How to Visualize NGINX Plus with Prometheus and Grafana

2021-09-24 KENNETH 0

How to Visualize NGINX Plus with Prometheus and Grafana As we discussed in How to Improve Visibility in Kubernetes, one of the top challenges for app development and delivery teams is getting insight into app performance, security, and availability.

You can track these valuable metrics in real time on the NGINX Plus dashboard, and NGINX Plus can also feed metrics to third‑party monitoring tools to give you extra insight from visualizations of performance over time. Two of the most popular tools work together to give you these time‑series graphs: Prometheus – An open source project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) for monitoring and [ more… ]

The people behind Windows 11: Working with communities to improve input and accessibility John Porter is an input and accessibility designer who is unable to use what so many take for granted: a keyboard and mouse. Porter relies almost entirely on his voice and speech recognition technology, in addition to switches (a series of buttons with pre-defined actions to cover a small range of motion) to interact with his PC. Working on Windows 11 as part of the Modern Input & Accessibility team, he’s been creating solutions to help others who use their PCs in different ways. “My role on the team is to think about how we can create new and more inherently inclusive input modalities that will not only address the needs of customers with disabilities, but have mainstream value as well,” says Porter, who joined Microsoft three years ago while in a doctorate program at the University of Washington in the department [ more… ]
